See below:

Engine oil and filter change - when the car asks for it

Pollen/cabin filter - every second service

Brake fluid change - every 2 years

Air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs change (petrol car) - every 4 years

Coolant change - every 15 years (if original long-life coolant)

ATF change (if autobox) - once at 40,000 miles

would u know approx a price of atf change? And should i also include torque converter nut change aswell?
and should i buy things from Mercedes genuine or i can get after market parts?

ATF change - around £180 from MB specialist (not Dealer) including labour and materials.

Use original MB ATF and filter.

(Not sure about the nut.)

I suspect that the 'transponder' is simply the Front Passenger Seat Occupancy Sensor:

This is what the Front Passenger Seat Occupancy Sensor looks like:

Ok i gave up, and went to the garage. And they told me that this vehicle was hit and someone who put airbags before did not the best job, there resistors are missing in the module etc.. Don't know if he is right and all but they will take max 250eu for the job. Gonna go soon to one of my buddys he is good mechanic and see what he will tell me..
And they said it may be not a proper job but it will make error to go away. If I want to be everything legit and everything working as new it may require more work and more money!..

thank you lads its fixed for only 60Euro, somebody tried to switch off the front passenger seat sensor, and failed made more errors than it should and left it like that!!
